Christians don't impose their values on anyone

Daniel M. Cook, in his recent letter to the editor ( "Don't impose Christian values on rest of us") is mistaken on two counts. First, private organizations, like the Boy Scouts, have the right to determine the standards by which they operate without coercion or outside pressure if one does not like them. Second, far from Cook's statement, Christians do not impose their rules of conduct on others. Christians do not boycott or demonstrate against business or organizations that do not accept Christianity. They do not go before local, state or federal agencies demanding to be recognized as Christians or asking for laws that demand to be recognized or given favored status.

If one chooses to be gay or lesbian - be so, but don't demand that others accept such a lifestyle. God, through his word, teaches there is a right way and a wrong way to live. Homosexuality is one of many lifestyles that God says is wrong: murder, robbery, prostitution, drunkenness, fornication, adultery, to name a few. Christians stand opposed to all of these and other wrong ways of living, which the Bible calls sin. So, in the name of tolerance, don't be intolerant of those who know certain lifestyles are sin.
